Despite being most recognised for their robust sports models, the Rolex catalogue is incredibly diverse, and even includes a small collection of coin watches that are very rare and not often seen on the market. The present ref. 3612 is encased in a yellow gold twenty US-dollar coin from 1897, and the example truly embodies the spirit of the Rolex Cellini line with no intricate detail left unattended. Dedicated to Benvenuto Cellini, a master goldsmith of the 16th century, the Cellini collection very much takes after his devotion to methods of engraving, casting metal and perfecting even the most minute details.

To open the present coin watch, a button is concealed within the reeded edge of the coin and reveals the dial on demand with the stroke of a touch. The walls within the coin are also further adorned with hand-turned perlage finishes.

Offered in very well-preserved condition and accompanied by all its accessories, this is rare collectible will be a fantastic addition for both watches and coins collectors.
